The book theif

The book thief by Markus Zusak [Ten parts]

"I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when it's cold. And I don't have those skull-like facial features you seem to enjoy pinning on my from a distance. You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out. Find yourself a mirror..."

This book was emotionally stressful. There were so many ups and downs and loopty loops...
I just could not put it down. It starts out and the book is rather boring..When I first started reading it I thought to myself "Oh, my word. Why did I even get this book? 552 pages!! I have officially lost my mind.."

However 20 pages in.. I-was-hooked.

One thing that killed me was this book is a big SPOILER..Every time something is about to happen the narrator tells you 30 pages ahead of time..ugggh.

This book is about Liesel,a nine year old girl, in Nazi Germany. Enough said right.. Right. The story was told in the perspective of DEATH. Woah..innovative right? Yes... yes,yes,yes.

Go out...to a library... or a store.. somewhere and get this book.. It is a must read! (Tears WILL fall)

Relfecting on my Spring Break...

Ahh.. Spring Break....

My spring break was so amazing. The band and I went on a trip all the way down to .....

Texas? ..no

Alabama?..no

Georgia?..no

ORLANDO,FLORIDA!!

Me,myself, I have never been to Florida. We went to Disney World and all the parks in that same general theme..It was amazing. We all got to hang out and just have fun. Also, we competed in a concert contest and we won overall!! A perfect end to a perfect trip..

However, I was very glad to get back to Arkansas and see my family... =)

Animal Farm

WARNING-TALKING ANIMALS..

There are so many movies about talking animals now days I was a little wary when I realized Animal Farm by George Orwell was one in book form. Such as : Open Season, Madagascar, Barnyard and many more.

Animal Farm is an allegorical fable. A fable-teaches a lesson. An allegory-a story that has a deeper meaning. Basically, its a story a farm whose animals decide that they deserve better than what they are getting and they start a revolt....

What happens when you beg and beg for something different but when you get it....it is not what you thought it would be? Do you...

Ask for more change?
or
Sit back and deal with it....

There is a lot of symbolism in the book and it was an inspirational message to all humans...and to all animals that snuck into their farm houses and learned to read and write.
